Remember a secret very much like this a couple weeks ago, and I'll say now what I said then: I think smoking is hot -- but only if the character is fictional.

[(Anonymous)]

This - it hits my oral fixation kink, and I can easily pretend that the cigarettes fictional characters are smoking aren't nearly as toxic and horrible as real life ones. Mostly because I don't have to gag on the smell.

OTOH, 9 times out of 10, it's sort of a character trait of sorts - kind of like having a character with glasses. And when it's used as a character trait, I'm totally cool with it. But that one time in ten it's portrayed as a human flaw, it throws me out of Happy Fiction Land and I can't see it as anything but gross. I had no idea that this reaction was even possible for me until I read a webcomic where one of the characters randomly smoked and it was portrayed realistically, topped with an author's note about how SOMETIMES PEOPLE DO STUPID SHIT AND SMOKE and they didn't want to hear shit about it, and suddenly I just couldn't like the character anymore. Go figure.

/end rant

After having a brilliant Maths teacher whom I admired and who was a hardcore smoker (due to the chronic leg pain he acquired when doing volunteer work in a high radiation area), I cannot bring myself to dislike the idea.

I do get the irritation that people feel about the collateral damage of smoking; but I don't think it means finding it hot is bad - the problem isn't the smoking itself, but the way smokers treat those around them.

[that's about real life, of course. When it comes to fiction, it hardly matters. YKINMK.]

[sootyowl]

I find smoking hot in fiction (something about the sultry pulls on the cig and the tendril of smoke... mmm...), but in real life it smells gross and the scent never leaves the people who smoke. Oh, and the whole cancer and second hand smoke leading to cancer is pretty shitty too.

[queerwolf]

Fictional smoking can be sexy. IRL, not so much.

[(Anonymous)]

Am I really the only person who thinks that cigarette smoke smells kind of nice? At least sometimes.

[(Anonymous)]

I love the smell of fresh cigarette smoke.

Stale smoke though smells gross.

[(Anonymous)]

+1. I love walking down the street and getting a whiff of someone's cigarette when they pass by. On the other hand, entering the home of someone's who's a smoker and smokes inside is a really icky smell.

[nyxelestia]

I sometimes like it, but I can see why so many people despise it (even discounting the whole cancer-and-other-bad-shit factor of breathing in cigarette smoke, first or second hand).

I try not to disapprove of smoking in a general sense, and try only to condemn smoking when it's done without social conscientiousness (i.e. smoking in a crowded area where people have no choice but to walk through the cloud of cigarette smoke, or smoking near an entrance, etc). Granted, I live in an area where it's easy to separate those two things, but I can see how people might live in places where it's not and get resentful of smoking in general, regardless of how harmful someone is or isn't to others with it.

[(Anonymous)]

I've never liked the smell of smoke itself, but I had friends in high school whose parents were heavy smokers, and sometimes the residual secondhand-smoke smell in their cars and on some of their clothes was nice.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, I like the smell of tobacco, burnt and unburnt. Except when it's really old, I agree, then it is nasty.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought fictional smoking was a lot hotter when I thought the only real negative to being around them was the smell.

And then I got older and encountered all the jerkbag smokers who burn little holes and leave scorch marks all over everything, toss butts everywhere, and cause random fires in trash cans and landscaping mulch.

Same as the cuteness of puppies went way down when I lived somewhere the neighbors never bothered to scoop and the sidewalks were slow moving rivers of poop every time it rained.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, you have to admit that smoking is pretty bad. I mean, smokers aren't necessarily bad people (bad people come in both smoking and non-smoking varieties), but the actual action itself doesn't exactly have many redeeming qualities.

[Picture is a drawing of the Blue Spy from the videogame "Team Fortress 2". He is a man with light olive skin and brown eyebrows, wearing a skin-tight dark blue mask covering his whole head, except for his eyes and mouth. He is standing with his back to the viewer and looking cockily over his shoulder, and is smoking a cigarette as he holds a handgun pointing upwards in his right hand. He is wearing a white shirt and a dark blue suit with thin dark vertical stripes. The fanart is credited to a "[check mark or letter "V"?] NANDA [smiling face emoticon]".]

The smell of cigarette smoke used to disgust me. Now it turns me on.

Secret because according to the Internet, smoking is literally the worst.

[(Anonymous)]

The smell of tobacco smoke makes me physically ill. It's an almost automatic headache and nausea. And kissing someone who smokes? Gross city for me.

So I don't smoke or date people who do. Problem solved! I don't see the point in belittling others for their likes or dislikes, so if you think it's hot then more smokers for you!

I think this is a topic that either side gets a lot of hate. If you say smoking is gross you get dogpiled. If you say smoking is hot you get dogpiled. It's a no-win conversation topic.

[(Anonymous)]

Me too, anon. Smoking fictional character certainly has its charms, but IRL? Eeh, while I swear I will never smoke, can't say I'm really bothered with it since my dad is a smoker and his family have and sell tobacco leaves everyday. I understand people who get breathing problem because of the smoke tho; the stench can be unbearable at times.

[(Anonymous)]

I used to smoke irl but successfully quit. But when a sexy man on tv or a movie lights up a cigarette it is still a huge turn on. I think it's the whole outlaw/cowboy image that just demands a cigarette in his hand.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like the smell of a lot of smoke, but I recently went to a country where pretty much everyone smokes and I hooked up with a few people, and now I associate the faint smell of tobacco smoke on someone's skin with sex.
